This one is flying off the shelves, which, for a Sufjan Steven’s fan is a must have due to it being the first time he has composed for a soundtrack. It’s currently sold out at FYE, Bull Moose, Rough Trade, etc, but you can find it at a few other places, such as Barnes & Nobles, Ameoba & Merchbar. Here is a little write up on the soundtrack:

Guadagnino [director] found himself resonating with Sufjan Stevens’ lyricism through his work and initially asked Stevens to record an original song. Eventually, Stevens contributed three songs to the soundtrack: “Visions of Gideon”, which was used at the end of the film, “Mystery of Love,” which was featured in the film’s first trailer and a new rendition of “Futile Devices” with piano. Stevens penned the songs by using the script, the book, and the conversations with the director about the characters. It marks Sufjan Stevens’ first soundtrack for a feature film.

The soundtrack also features songs by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Giorgio Moroder, The Psychedelic Furs and many others.

I hail from the "Oregon Bayou", south of Portland, as an isolated rare vinyl enthusiast scouting West Coast bands for insider information. My music preferences are genres that make me feel anything. Anything at all. I need to feel something... Genres that make me feel more than others tend to be Alternative Wonky, Space Folk, and Chamber Rap, but I'm not exclusive in the slightest.

intresting how they can claim the soundtrack is composed/scored by Sufjan Stevens and Ryuichi Sakamoto when it only contains 5 songs from these two artists. the rest is Various Artist tracks - bit shifty in my opinion

I think people are snapping these up with the idea that they are going to flip them for hundreds of dollars. But if you look on eBay there is now a glut of the blue ones and it's turning into a race to the bottom. If anyone wants a blue that bad, just wait a few months and the price will come back down to Earth.

Hey guys, Amazon UK has the blue limited vinyl in stock, still. It's being released on Feb. 9th. I ordered a copy, and it has a delivery date, so I'm guaranteed a copy. It is a separate listing from the standard black vinyl. Check it out!
